About the Program

  From broad exposure to basic psychology to an in-depth understanding of psychological research, students will broaden their knowledge of the field and its application to everyday life. The major in Psychology prepares students for graduate training in psychology, for work in mental and behavioral health services, and for careers requiring a liberal arts background. 

A psychology major is an asset — whether your career goal is to become a clinical psychologist, counselor, social worker, or consultant;  to conduct behavioral research;  to become a college professor; or to enter professions such as business, law or medicine. Your expanded knowledge of human thought, emotion, and behavior is relevant to any career.
